Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Lovie Smith will take over defensive play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier this season. The Bucs finished 25th in overall defense in 2014 and gave up 25.6 points per game, which was eighth most in the league. Frazier will remain the defensive coordinator.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers S Bradley McDougald is getting a look in game action. The team wants to get a look at McDougald to see what he is capable of. "We want to take a look at Bradley McDougald," defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said Thursday. "He's done some things to warrant being on the field and taking a look at him. That's the only way to really get it done. Dashon has done some good things for us and we think he will this Sunday and in games to come. But we'd be remiss if we didn't take a look at Bradley and see what he's capable of doing. We'll see how he progresses."
